BOKU NO HERO: ANIME AT IT’S PRIME





 I’m not sure if I mentioned this on my blog before but I used to hate boku no hero so bad,I thought it was cheesy and very childish. Well at first glance it certainly looks that way so I do not completely blame ignorant me for thinking so you know?. For those familiar with this anime,I complained about everything from the basic concept of quirks to the complexity of why the students of U.A wanted to be heroes.

When I first started watching it,I dumped it at episode 8 because I did not find it interesting enough and then boom!,one day out of boredom I decided to pick up from episode 8 and damn I could not miss a single scene. Boku no hero is so special because it is that it manages to have the ingredients of Anime like Hunter x Hunter,Naruto,One Piece,e.t.c but it also manages to still be very unique and entertaining.


 It has the potential to run for many many many seasons,I think the story of Midoriya and his classmates training at U.A to become heroes simply resonates with people because it is simple and also imaginative. I think every kid at least had that one hero dream moment. I love the way BNH sheds more light on characters,they don’t drag it till the instead it feels like feeler,instead it actually feels important and gives characters extra layers.


  To me the creator of this anime certainly got inspired by a lot of things for one,Endeavour the second best hero is obviously based of from Fire Lord Ozai I mean they are both abusive fathers of powers who put their sons through so much emotional trauma growing up not only by isolating their wives,but also by forcing their sons into becoming better warriors.



All might the number one hero is the representation of a true hero who on the outside seems untouchable but is actually fragile and even at that,will do whatever it takes to protect people. A lot of heroes can be said to fit this description but to me superman best fits it.


 You also have the Rivalry between Bakugo and Midoriya which I like to call infant Sasuke v Naruto. I call it infant because their rivalry is still in it’s basic stage it isn’t mature yet. Bakugo is still the sasuke who is naturally gifted and often discriminate others and likes being a loner while Midoriya is still the Naruto who will still keep fighting no matter how it gets even if the chances of success are slim and that is because,that is his hero way…..he will do anything to protect his classmates and innocent people.


  I also think Tokoyami the dark shadow bearer is very similar to Neji, in the sense that they are both generally excellent and well focused students who have the potential to be the best but have some inner control issues to work about before they can get to where they want. Okay am getting off track and all but I couldn’t help but gush about this anime that I once hated. I love it so much now that I have the temptation to read the manga due to weekly release of episodes and am hardly ever interested in doing that.

 In summary Boku no hero is a great anime because it has all the ingredients and it uses those ingredients excellently. From its rich characters,great comedy and epic battles….everything about this anime is fun,upbeat and engaging!.



   Sorry for taking a while to post this,I know I talked about making a post covering my opinion on it but I forgot but as I woke up a couple of minutes ago,I got inspired to write all these just because I’ve wanted to for a while now. What do you think? Do you agree with me? Do you like the character comparisons or do you think am exaggerating. Do not be shy, tell me what you think.

Samurai Champloo: Why Is It So Good?

Written By
   In the year 2005, the anime community had one of their gems; Samurai Champloo come out. Its well written and set in an extremely lively version of old school (Edo) japan. Its storyline is simple, two extremely skilled yet very different swordsmen Mugen and Jin have fate bring them across a young outspoken lady Fuu who helps them out of a tough spot and insist on them accompany her to find the very vaguely named “samurai who smells of sunflowers”. This serves as the catalyst that carries us on a well voiced, animated, and extremely stylistic adventure across japan towards the course of its 20 plus episode run. Here are some of the reasons I think Samurai Champloo is so enjoyable   1. TONE AND SETTING: One of the reasons it works so well is that even with its fictional story, its grounded in reality without being overly dramatic or serious. Most films, shows and games based off old eras like this usually take themselves super serious and in the process turn out being bla...

AQUAMAN: A TITANIC WAVE!

Written By
    So I just saw Aquaman and I've got a couple of things to say. Before I start, if you were worried about it being bad, you're safe; it's not.  So let's start from the most essential part of the film; 1. THE STORY Arthur and his Father     Before I started, I was a bit scared that the film would act as a justice league sequel of sorts rather than an aquaman stand alone film and I was glad to see that they only referenced the film once and it was for about four seconds.  Aquaman isn't trying to set up a million future films or anything, it's focused on the story and the story is really simple. Arthur and Mera journeying together    There's a cliché fate of the world stake but this time, the stakes revolve around Arthur himself.  This fight is not for the justice league, it's a personal journey of Arthur Curry, the half breed known as the Aquaman.  Loosely based on the new52 storyline; Throne of Atlantis, Aquaman...

Sorry To Bother You: Bothers In A Good Way

Written By
  A couple of months back I was scrolling through YouTube and watching random videos and bam!,I see the trailer for a movie titled "sorry to bother you".  The trailer was really fun,it had Lakeith Stanfeld,Danny Glover,Tessa Thompson and Armie Hammer and those three alone were enough for me to watch it.  Now,back when I saw the trailer, I simply thought "this is looks like a very cool comedy" and trust me it was but,the film itself is so much more. The film tells the story of Cassius "Cash" a broke and woke black man who's looking for a job to provide for himself and his girlfriend Detroit(that's right, Detroit),A hilarious and creative artist. He gets a job as a telemarketer but he's not very good at it because he doesn't know how to convince people on the phone into buying from the company. Then, he gets advice to use his "white voice" and although he finds the thought of a white voice to be outrageously absurd, he...

Severance: An Unforgettable Thriller

Written By
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you didn't remember the stress of your workplace when you get home? From the mind of Dan Erickson, directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle, Severance offers an answer to the aforementioned question and pushes the limit by asking " when your consciousness is spilt into two, which one is the real you? " The series follows a severed employee at Lumon, Mark who has recently been promoted to the Head of Microdata and Refinement Department after the sudden resignation of his boss and the recruitment of a new employee, Helly Riggs. Plot Severance has a unique plot, while the execution of a series without a definite blueprint can prove difficult, it does not fall into this hole. The series answers (almost)all the questions it poses in the first few episodes but ends on a note that will leave you spiraling and brimming with inquisitiveness.  Characters For every character, we follow two distinct ...
